Hernando, MS – A juvenile involved in an armed carjacking incident at Poke World in Olive Branch, Mississippi, has been extradited back to DeSoto County following a collaborative effort by the District Attorney’s Office and Olive Branch Police.
According to the District Attorney’s Office, on May 12th, around 8:00 pm, two juveniles, aged 16 and younger, and an 18-year-old, from Memphis, wore ski masks and used pepper spray to subdue a DoorDash driver and steal the victim’s vehicle, at gun point.
Last week, the 16-year-old was successfully extradited back to DeSoto County through a joint law enforcement effort led by investigators from the District Attorney’s Office and the Olive Branch Police Department. This individual will now be prosecuted as an adult, facing serious felony charges.
“I am immensely proud of the dedication and effectiveness shown by my investigators and the Olive Branch Police Department in ensuring that this criminal was brought back to DeSoto County to face the full consequences of his actions,” said District Attorney Matthew Barton. “To those in Memphis considering criminal acts in our community, think again: we will relentlessly pursue those who threaten the safety and security of our communities.”
The 18-year-old, identified as Courtney Fleming, is still at large and is also facing felony charges in his involvement. Another 13-year-old juvenile will be charged in youth court in connection with the incident.
Due to their age, the names and other details of the two juveniles involved in the incident cannot be disclosed at this time.
